After a car accident, I've struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. My doctor has referred me to family counseling, but the public waiting list is 11 months, and private sessions at the Los Angeles Counselling Collective cost $135 each. I have been honest with my employer and taken some time off, but I can't keep going without support. Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions I could afford. My therapist recommends 20 weekly sessions, and I know that consistent help will make the difference. Asking for help with this has been the hardest part, and I'm grateful for your kindness without judgment. Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable. Where the $1,700 goes: โ€ข 20 therapy sessions: $1,450 โ€ข Psychiatric assessment: $170 โ€ข Workbook and resources: $80 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Charles

    • Charles M. StoneOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. 20 therapy sessions comes first ($1,450) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.
